Mahesh,
Thank you for your project proposal. Your project was approved by the
Networking Community Group with three +1 votes of core community members
and no -1 vote.
I will send a separate email (cc'ing you) to the opensolaris.org
infrastructure team to setup your project. Note that the OpenSolaris
Website is currently under transition and some operations requiring
changes to the web infrastructure might have to be delayed until the
transition completes, for details see
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/web/infrastructure-setup
We can create a temporary sub-page on the networking community for your
project until the transition completes, let me know if you'd like to go
down that route.
Nicolas.

Emulex is proposing to contribute to the Networking Community, a GLDv3 driver
to support its OCe10xxx line of multi-function FCoE, iSCSI and NIC PCI-Express
CNAs.
The purpose of this project is to provide a Solaris Driver, to avail of TCP/IP
Networking, and associated applications. Equivalent support is being provided
to other major Operating Systems.
The oce driver is a GLDv3 based driver and will provide support for core GLDv3
functions. Additional features, such as Power management (suspend, resume),
Dynamic Reconfiguration and Fast Reboot will also be supported. Separate
packaging for oce will be provided, including installable binaries, and man
page listings.
Exercising the NIC functionality of a CNA is a critical piece in using it as a
general purpose Network capable device.
We request the Core Contributors to agree with positive votes to this proposal.
Please note that three +1 votes, and no -1 votes is a requirement to be
accepted, as per Article VIII of the OpenSolaris Constitution.
